Guided motion is an important feature found in automated machinery and equipment. Motion system components can enable the movement of heavy loads, or allow for equipment to be designed for adjustability and allow for a variety of machine functions or operational tasks. Motion products are engineered for specific conditions such as load direction, load capacity, or chemical compatibility. They are typically designed to carry loads in controlled service conditions which are clean, free of debris and well lubricated. After several months of use, these ideal operating conditions are rarely a reality for production machinery.

Finally! An Alternative to Slewing Ring Bearings with Heavy Duty Rings and Ve...Design World
When heavy loads need to be automated or supported by large capacity bearings there are few options for selecting standard products. Slewing ring bearings are often selected for heavy load applications and can be supplied in large diameters. However, the use of slewing bearings should be carefully scrutinized due to their high cost, long lead-times, difficult installation procedures, and frequent service maintenance. Heavy duty rings with vee guide wheels are a viable alternative to slewing bearings because in many cases they can meet the load capacity and life expectations in heavy load applications. Just like slewing rings, heavy duty vee rings can be rack and pinion driven on the inner or outer diameters and feature significant load capacities. However, additional features of vee guide technology provide improvements beyond the limitations of slewing bearings.

How to regain design freedom and source the perfect linear guide with Extrude...Design World
Linear guides are one of the most important components required for the development of automated or computer controlled equipment. 3D printers, CNC routers, and tabletop factories. Machines wouldn’t function without them. During the development phase, most design engineers will survey existing manufacturers for standard linear guide products to incorporate into their projects. Invariably, the designer will need to make compromises in their selection process and accept limited design freedom on purchased products. Perhaps the available guides are too large, require modifications, or have unstable supply quantities.
Extrusion based linear guides provide design freedom and can incorporate additional features to lower the overall complexity of a machine. They are supplied reliably in low quantities with the perfect design features. Extrusion designs can incorporate locations for attaching gear racks, linear tape encoders, cable carriers, or wire ducts and secondary machining such as threaded end holes allow for simplified assembly. Integrate many features into your perfect extruded profile guide.
View this webinar to learn:
-How hardened steel vee guide track can be incorporated into extruded
-About the process and timeline for developing the perfect extrusion based linear guide.
-About successful industry application examples.

StepSERVO™ Technology: Bridging the gap between cost effective and high perfo...Design World
1. The document discusses StepSERVO technology, which uses closed loop servo control for 50-pole permanent magnet brushless DC motors, also known as step motors.
2. StepSERVO motors offer higher torque, acceleration, efficiency, and accuracy compared to traditional open loop stepper motors. They consume less power, run cooler, and are quieter.
3. Applied Motion Products offers a range of StepSERVO integrated motor products in NEMA frame sizes that provide improved performance over open loop steppers at a relatively low cost.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

DualVee® Wheel Capacities
Sizing and life estimate in 3 simple steps:
Step 1: Calculate the loads on each bearing in the system
Step 2: Calculate the load factor (LF) for the most heavily
loaded wheel
Step 3: Calculate the life estimate using the equation
Working Load Capacities
Working load capacities are based on empirical data on
guide wheels used in general applications with static and
dynamic load conditions. Guide wheels can routinely
achieve travel life of one million cycles or higher when
these specified load capacities are observed.
